Zumba Fitness Core - Nintendo Wii

I am hesitant to go to a live Zumba class because I'm not in great shape, and I've heard our local teacher starts out at a high skill level, so I thought I'd try it on Wii first. A friend lent me a previous Zumba game, which I enjoyed, so I then purchased this one, which I like even more!The first thing to do is go through the little tutorial that shows you the various steps you will encounter, at slow and fast speeds. There's no need to memorize the moves, but it lets you know what to expect. There are 3 lengths of "classes", around 25 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes. After about a month of working out with this game 3-4 times a week (starting from a low fitness level), I can now easily do the 25 minute classes, and I can finish the 45 minute class, though it gets tough toward the end!These workouts really get your heart rate up, and they're pretty fun! I get bored easily and don't want to sit on an exercise bike or walk on a treadmill for my cardio, so being able to do these Zumba routines in the comfort of my own home is just great.There are multiple choreographers, and they're motion-captured, so you're watching an animated version of a real person on screen (like the way they filmed 'Avatar'). I like this, because the movements on-screen are more natural. Each choreographer has their own style, and there are little prompts to let you know what they're going to do next. I find one girl's moves to be more difficult than the others, but you experience all of the choreographers in a class, so you'll get a range of styles and difficulty, which I enjoy.The game comes with a belt that you put the Wiimote into to measure the movement of your hips, and your overall "bounciness", so you get the most points if you follow the leg movements and keep your energy up. Once you start "slumping", you'll see it's harder to get a good score on the routine, so it is pretty good at measuring your activity.One of my favorite things is the progress charts - it shows you your usage of the game over time, so you can get a sense of your fitness and skill levels increasing as you use it more frequently.The only thing I would change is to add a progress indicator to the screen during the class, so you get a sense of how far along you are. Sometimes when you think you're on the last song and there are 2 more, you think it would have been nice to know you weren't as close to the end as you expected! However, you know how long the class is before you start, so you can just use the clock for this and it's not a bad enough "negative" for me to dock it a star.But overall, if you're a 30+ year old woman like me that has never been athletic but needs to get back into shape and improve your health and you don't want to embarrass yourself at the gym, try this game out!

I really went back and forth between buying this game or signing up for a class once a week. I am so glad I picked the game! I am not a dancer at all, and as fun as this looked l worried I wouldn't be able to pick up the moves and end up frustrated. I started out in the learning basic moves category but got bored after a few because it was rather boring and they were super easy. Then I started picking individual songs to try. I really didn't have a hard time picking the moves up, I'm not saying that I did them all perfectly but by the end of the songs I would have 4 or 5 of out 5 stars every time. Not sure if it just rates really easy, if I was doing that good, or if it just rates your energy level and not how well you actually do the steps but it made me less self conscience and motivated to keep going!Most other work outs I'm watching the clock waiting for it to end. When I first played this game I just popped it in to set up my profile and check it out and wasn't planning on actually working out. I kept telling myself I'm just going to do one more song and then stop, but I did it after every song for like 20 more minutes, I just didn't want to stop! Then a couple hours later I played again and tried a 20 minute routine. I just got it today but there are so many individual songs and different routines that I don't think I could get bored with this for a long time.The main reason I'm glad I bought this instead of joined a class is there is no way I only want to do Zumba once a week now that I've tried it. I also like that I can fit in three 20 minute sessions a day instead of the full hour if I need to.I did not have any problems with the belt like other reviews said. The only negative I have is that when you are choosing one song at a time as soon as you click what song it tells you to put the remote in the belt and then it starts when it thinks you should be ready and makes you rush. Then you have to take it out to pick the next song and do it again. During the routines (20 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, and your own custom routines) you put it in the belt then press the A button through the mesh which I like much better.For the $19.99 price this game can't be beat, my only regret is not buying it sooner!

Fue una muy agradable sorpresa recibir videojuego con el cinturon de regalo, ya lo probe y existe ningún problema.

ズンバとは無縁な生活を送っていたが、これほどズンバがリズムゲームとなって楽しめるとは思わなかった。このシリーズは、wii wiiuと　xbox360 xboxoneの４機種だが、全て集めたいぐらいだ。wiiの場合、腰に巻くベルトにコントローラーを入れて行なうのだが、快適に踊れた。Xboxのキネクトでもきっと楽しめるはずだ。

I needed to loos my last 45lbs but watching and following a workout video was totally boring, I needed something to push me to do better next time and my competitive side. Man did i find it doing classes and progress trackers to keep me in check. Also completing goals to unlock advice and blocked content. The game does come with the belt not having to buy is awesome just can get right started. I go hard and but zumba into my cardio workouts with ease cant wait to get all the other ones now. All in all amazing fun and keeps me sweating, buy ;)
